Overpaid? YES, Overworked? FK NO!
Trust me, I woulda LOVED to make the NHL and do the job/hobby I loved back in my younger days. MUCH rather than be stuck in rig camps, dirty hotels, campers, tents whatev.............fk that!!! they're WHINERS straight up!!!
Then the question arises, why didn't you chase your hobby ? By over worked I was referring to the grueling hours and years these guys devote to there workout routines, ever watched a Chris Chelios workout in a sauna on the stat bike? Can't tell me that isn't working hard. I spent 12 years running stem in the ground in every little chithole that AB, ssk, and The territories have and sure while sitting in camp sux, and tripping for 2 weeks straight gets old in a hurry , I never found it as rough as getting bag skated for 1.5 hours straight, followed by the same bag skate 2 hours later. The game has changed a lot since I played, and I can't imagine how hard they have to work just to compete at such a high level. I skated hard for an hour last night and thought I was going to need an air ambulance when I was done, these guys do this every day much like we did 20 some years ago, only they doing 50 kph instead of 25 lol

Nobody is arguing that pro athletes dont work at there job. The real question is do they work 5-8 million a year harder than the rest of us Bob? Do you think they deserve 57% of the owners hockey revenue? If they can walk from there yearly wage of millions then they are making to much money to begin with.
I don't really see it much different then any other union asking for more money, better benifets ect, other then the amount of dollars being talked about
